Fu Qizheng saw Emperor Yuan's expression, lowered his head and couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, with the help of my nobles, Bao Gongzi is the top student in high school." The man was confident.

"There are so many people asking for help, but there is only one champion, how can everyone be in high school." Wen Yue wondered.

The man explained incoherently, "This ...... This depends on personal creation, in my opinion, only a talented person like Childe can go to high school, Childe is generous, and my nobles will definitely do their best to help. ”

Emperor Yuan glanced at the man and arched his hand: "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

After passing through several alleys, I bumped into the rich scholar in the inn, holding a book wrapped in cloth, looking extremely happy, and when I saw Emperor Yuan, their expressions suddenly became serious, and they hid the book in their clothes, afraid that they would be seen and robbed, so they tiptoed and carefully passed by.

"Right ahead." The man pointed to a shop on the street with a hidden door, this small street was not as lively as the city gate street, it was sparsely populated, there were not many shops around, half of them were closed.

Emperor Yuan They followed the man into the store, a calligraphy and painting shop, the shopkeeper led a few people upstairs, upstairs in the hall sat a man and a woman were counting the silver on the table, seeing a few people coming, packed up the silver taels, closed the box, the man stood up and arched his hand: "In the lower river, this is the cheap Fu family, please sit down." ”

The woman then owed.

"Childe, please." Lee Tsune-do.

Emperor Yuan sat down, and Fu Qizheng and Wen Yue stood behind Emperor Yuan.

"Looking at the son's dignified appearance, the two maids are so fragrant and beautiful, who else can win if the son is not successful." Fang Jiang flattered.

"I think I am diligent, but I failed to take one of the five exams, and today I happened to hear that Brother Yuan is a master, and I hope that Brother Fang will guide me." Emperor Yuan said politely.

"Eh, the masters don't dare to be, but there are some unique secret methods."

"What's the secret method?"

Fang Jiang scratched his head: "Well, how can the secret law be said at will......

"Chang Hai."

"Yes." Li Changhai understood, took out another ingot of gold and put it on the table.

Emperor Yuan folded his fan and pointed to the gold on the table, and said with a smile: "This is a meeting gift for Brother Fang, if Brother Fang does not hesitate to teach, he will be rewarded with a lot of money." ”

Fang Jiang motioned to his wife to put away the gold, got up half-straight and leaned in front of Emperor Yuan, and whispered, "I can't know any secret method as well as the exam questions. ”

Emperor Yuan was slightly startled, frowned and doubted: "How can Brother Yuan know the exam questions, the imperial court has always attached great importance to the imperial examination, and the exam questions are the most important, even the courtiers in Beijing have not yet known, why is it exposed to Suzhou Mansion." ”

"If the imperial court wants to hold the imperial examination, then there must be someone who makes the question, and others don't know about it, but of course the person who made the question knows, don't hide it from my brother, I have some dealings with that adult, so I naturally know something that others don't know."

"Oh? Who is the questioner that Brother Fang said? ”

Yuan Jiang said slowly: "Of course, he is a first-class minister in front of the emperor, a scholar of Fu University. ”

As soon as these words came out, in addition to Emperor Yuan's shock, Fu Qizheng who was standing behind him suddenly turned pale with fright, Emperor Yuan looked sideways and shook his head slightly, Fu Qizheng suppressed the impulse to ask.

"The university scholar is far away in the capital, thousands of miles away from Suzhou, how can he know Brother Fang." Emperor Yuan smiled.

"Brother Tai, don't believe it, the ancestral home of the scholar is Suzhou, don't hide it from Brother Tai, my wife and the Fu family are cousins, last year, the daughter of the scholar came to Suzhou to visit relatives, accidentally fell into the river, or my wife saved her life, in order to express gratitude, I specially gave my wife a pair of ink treasures, Lord Fu and Mrs. Fu are also responsive to my couple's requests, so we will kiss and kiss."

"The daughters of the scholars have already been married, but Mrs. Zun saved the youngest daughter of the scholars?"

Fang Jiang immediately slapped the table and said, "Yes, yes, it is the little daughter who is regarded as the pearl of the palm by the university scholar, called ...... What is it called Zhen'er or Qin'er, you see, with this relationship, it is easy to know the exam questions. ”

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of several people present finally let go, Emperor Yuan looked back at Fu Qizheng and couldn't cry or laugh, and Wen Yue couldn't hold back his laughter.

Seeing that a few people didn't believe it, Fang's wife took out a scroll of calligraphy and paintings from the bottom of the table and opened it, Fang Jiang pointed to the words solemnly and said, "Brother Tai, don't believe it, you see this is the ink treasure left by Miss Fu." ”

Emperor Yuan turned around and glanced at Li Changhai, and then instructed Fu Qizheng and Wen Yue: "Come and sit down and take a look at Fu ...... Miss Fu's ...... Calligraphy. I wanted to be serious, but I couldn't help laughing.

Fu Qizheng and Wen Yue sat down. Emperor Yuan and Fu Qizheng looked at the words carefully, writing "Good mountains, good waters, good mansions, only as a gift to benefactors", and the payment was Fu Xiaonu.

Emperor Yuan suddenly laughed and praised: "Fu Xiaonu is really a talented girl." ”

"Everyone, look at how well this character is written." Fang Jiang looked proud.

Fu Qizheng quietly glanced at him, and said to Fang Jiangwan: "Fang Gongzi helped my son-in-law today, then I will also write a few words and give them to the two nobles?" ”

"Very good." Fang Jiang was even more happy, and immediately ordered Xiao Er to take the pen and paper.

Fu Qizheng pondered for a moment, and slowly wrote with a pen, "True learning and hatred of luck is infallible when you meet nobles."

As soon as the pen was put down, Emperor Yuan couldn't help laughing, Wen Yue covered her mouth and smiled, and praised: "My sister's handwriting is really good, I'm afraid that this Miss Fu next to me can't compare with it in ten or eight years." ”

"The girl can't talk nonsense, Miss Fu is the daughter of a scholar, how can she mock at will, it's disrespectful, but this girl's words are really ...... Well written, excellently written. Fang Jiang looked at the two lines carefully, and said in confusion, "What does this Fang Wuxian mean?" ”

"You just can't be wrong, you can't be wrong when you meet Xianggong, you will definitely be able to get the top prize, and the girl is praising you." Jiang's wife, who had never spoken, said with a smile.

"I see." Fang Jiang nodded again and again, and looked at Emperor Yuan again: "Brother Tai, believe it now." ”

Emperor Yuan folded his fan and shook it: "Naturally, I believe it, how much honor does Brother Fang need." ”

Fang Jiang was not in a hurry to answer, took out a book from his sleeve, and said seriously: "I not only have a title in this book, but also a model essay written by a famous artist, which can ensure that Brother Tai High School is worry-free, and the price is one hundred taels." ”

"A hundred taels is that." Wen Yue exclaimed.

"One hundred taels for a splendid future, a thousand is worth a thousand dollars."

"My housekeeper has gone to get the silver, Brother Fang will wait."

Fu Qizheng turned around, and sure enough, he didn't see Li Changhai.

There was a commotion downstairs, and after a while, several officials rushed to Chang Lai and took down Fang Jiang and his wife.

"What are you doing?" Fang Jiang struggled.

Then an official dressed in the official mansion came upstairs and said to Emperor Yuan: "Master Fu, I don't know that there are such bold and reckless people in the place under my jurisdiction. ”

Fang Jiang shouted vigorously: "Lord He, we didn't do anything, wronged, Lord He, I have a friendship with Scholar Fu, if you get me out of trouble, you will definitely lose your official position." "Shut up, you dare to slander Master Fu, it is the son and daughter of Scholar Fu standing in front of you."

Fu Qizheng looked at Emperor Yuan in confusion, but Emperor Yuan looked calm.

"What." Fang Jiang was suddenly frightened, Fang's wife struggled to kneel down and beg for mercy, "The little ones don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, Master Fu let us go in large numbers, we don't dare anymore." ”

"You said you saved me, but Qizheng grew up in the capital since childhood, and this is the first time to come to Suzhou, so why did you save me last year."

"The slave family did save a Miss Fu last year, and that Miss Fu and Scholar Fu are real relatives."

Lord He angrily pointed at the two: "Shut up, you dare to talk nonsense, come and take them down." ”

The official escorted the two away, and Lord He bowed his hand to Emperor Yuan: "Let Fu Gongzi smile." ”

"The emperor's holy car is in Minghu, and he will patrol to Suzhou soon, and I hope that the adults will investigate this matter thoroughly, and it must not be perfunctory." Emperor Yuan's face did not change, and he said without a beat.

"Yes, yes, the lowly post will definitely do his best to investigate, and the lowly post has prepared a banquet in the house for the son and the two young ladies to pick up the wind and wash the dust."

"I'll wait until I have other things, so I won't bother."

"Then, take care of your son, and retire from your position." Lord He turned and left.

Li Changhai picked up the so-called secret method on the ground and presented it to Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan roughly flipped through it and threw it back to Li Changhai for him to put away, walked to the table, picked up the pair of words written by Fu Qizheng, and his eyes were full of praise: "Your father taught you this word?" After looking at it for a long time, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly.

"Yes." Fu Qizheng replied softly.

Wen Yue held Fu Qizheng and pouted: "My sister writes so well, why should my son laugh." ”

"Those two fools can't see it, and you can't see it Yue'er?" Fu Qizheng said.

"It's just two lines of words, what else can you see." Wen Yue was puzzled.

"Words can be read vertically or horizontally." Fu Qizheng said softly.

Wen Yue suddenly realized, pointed to the words and read: "It's really ridiculous. He looked at Fu Qizheng again, with a look of admiration, "My sister is so smart, and her words are so beautiful, why don't you teach Yue'er to write from today?" ”

"I used to teach you to play the piano, but now I have to write again, endlessly, but I'm not afraid to teach you, I'm afraid that you will lose interest in a few days." Fu Qizheng quipped.

Emperor Yuan's expression was slightly different, Fu Qizheng turned his eyes to look at Emperor Yuan, and asked curiously: "Why does Lord He call Gongzi Fu Gongzi?" ”

Li Changhai took out a waist card and handed it to Fu Qizheng to take a look.

"This is my brother's waist card, why is it here with Childe."

"Since it is a micro-service visit, it is natural to be prepared and borrow your brother's waist card for use." Emperor Yuan said as he went downstairs.

A few people came out of the shop, there were not many people on this street, but now there are a lot of people watching the excitement on the third floor and the outer three floors, looking at the three people and discussing: "You see that is the son and daughter of today's scholars, come to our Suzhou Mansion, I heard that the emperor is coming in a few days, what kind of wind is blowing, the nobles are here." ”

When Fu Qizheng heard this, he smiled at Emperor Yuan behind him and said, "I have wronged my son." ”

"It's good to know." Emperor Yuan didn't look back and said lightly.

In the evening, several people found a restaurant to eat, it was the first time to have such a table to eat, Fu Qizheng was a little restrained, but Wen Yue was as comfortable as a homely meal.

"Childe, today's business is done, we haven't had a good time, aren't we here in vain? It's better to call Xiao Er and ask if there are any places worth visiting nearby. ”

Emperor Yuan nodded in acquiescence, and Wen Yue couldn't wait to call Xiao Er to ask. Xiao Er saw that Emperor Yuan was dressed well, and he must be the son of a rich family, and then said: "The most lively place in our Suzhou at night is the fireworks in March, if the son is interested, you might as well go and have a look." ”

On the bank of the weak river, the lights are bright as if there is no night, there are all kinds of styles, the covered bridge flies across, the murmuring river under the bridge reflects the red lanterns, the light boat passes, the people on the boat play the piano and make music, and the sound of silk and bamboo is endless. A few people walked across the covered bridge, and when they raised their eyes, they saw a building with "Fireworks March" written in front of them, and many young women in front of the door warmly greeted the male guests, and the fat powder was rushing to their faces.

"I didn't expect Fireworks March to be such a place, Childe, let's go back." Wen Yue frowned.

"Come on...... Accompany Ben Gongzi to have a few drinks, Ben Gongzi has been thinking about the beauties in Suzhou for a long time. ”

A few people were about to turn around and leave, when they heard the sound upstairs, Emperor Yuan and Fu Qizheng stopped at the same time, Fu Qizheng raised his eyes and looked, the figure on the platform was very familiar, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Emperor Yuan's folding fan was about to point directly at that person, his eyes were full of anger, and he said sharply: "Ling Binwei." ”

Ling Binwei hugged a woman in a green building, carried a wine jug in one hand, poured a glass of wine and drank it before slowly turning her head to look downstairs, and was suddenly shocked, the wine that she didn't have time to swallow squirted out in one gulp, lost the wine glass and wine jug, and said in a suffrage: "The emperor ...... The emperor ......", and before he finished speaking, he hurriedly pushed away the woman next to him and ran out.
